There are several artists with this name:

1 70's Blues/ Psychedelic Rock

2 FaT an American rapper hailing from Virginia.

3 FAT a Canadian guitar/bass/drum noisy improv band.

4. A band from Queensland Australia from the 1990s, members of whom went on to form Resin Dogs who develpoed a substantial following.

1. Fat's sound could be best described as a mix of East coast blues and West coast psychedelia, strongly influenced by Quicksilver Messenger Service etc.

They could have made it to the big time, but an unfortunate drug bust led RCA to cancel a planned follow-up album, and try as they might, the group were unable to secure another recording contract although two further albums were released in the late 70's. Both were produced by ex-Mountain man, Felix Papallardi.

Over the years Fat toured with a host of rock luminaries, sharing the stage with, Grand Funk Railroad, Little Richard, Bonnie and Delaney, Johnny Winter and Robin Trower, and others but unfortunately their success as a live band didn't translate into commercial success.
